At present, Zaozhuang has formed a relatively complete industrial chain from lithium mining and processing to the four key materials of positive electrode, negative electrode, separator film, and electrolyte, and power battery manufacturing, inspection and testing, terminal application, and dismantling and recycling. A group of leading enterprises of lithium battery were attracted to make investment. Step by step, a bright future for the development of the lithium battery industry is coming into reality.
